Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge unboxing and first impressions

Did you think our Samsung Galaxy S6 unboxing would come alone? Nope! We also have the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and we have given it the same treatment. We took a look at it at the MWC showfloor, but that sure won’t be enough to please your geeky desires.

Let’s unbox the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and give you our very first impressions on it. Will it live up to all the hype? More importantly – is that Edge display really worth the price increase?

The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is pretty much the same as the Samsung Galaxy S6, so we won’t beat around the bush too much. You can read our first impressions on the Samsung Galaxy S6 if you want more details than what the video embedded below shows.

What we can tell you is that the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge has a tiny bit more battery. 50 mAh more, to be exact. I don’t think this wll make a difference, but it could make the difference between sending that last email or not.

Another huge difference is, of course, the design. I happen to prefer the way the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge looks. Call the edge displays gimmicky, but it really does make the phone look and feel smoother. They really are there just for show, though, as they aren’t even touch activated. Of course, this was done intentionally as to not create too many unintentional touch actions.

In the video we will go over everything that is included in the box, the hardware, the screen, software, charging technology and camera. Sit back, relax and enjoy the show!
